Well if I was the route planner for SAS I would pick Stansted over Luton for the next couple of years anyway. Luton is straining and outside forces don't help. Luton used to have 4 high capacity bendi-buses operating between the Station and the airport. Now it seems to be reduced to 2 with a couple of rubbish ex-London transport single decker low capacity shopper buses, one of which is still painted red put on the route.

I have also found the first problem with the temporary arrivals hall. As it is on the wrong side of the road almost every passenger needs to use the crossings. The problem is that there are often no gaps in the passengers using the crossings so no coaches can get by. This is what happened to me when I used the car park bus. We sat there for what seemed like minutes. When we did finally get past the coach has to swing 180 degrees and got caught a second time. There was plenty of moaning from the passengers on the coach as they had flights to catch.
